Once the FBI lifted the pall over Hillary, the markets boomed — Monday and today. Here’s the last five days:<\/p>\n
Our two favorites: AMZN and FB did handsomely today.<\/p>\n Now back to today’s early morning column:<\/p>\n My friend, Steve, emails me this morning:<\/p>\n Four years ago, when it was Obama vs. Romney, I thought it was the most important election of our lifetime.<\/p>\n You and I can break the logjam in Washington:\u00a0All 435 U.S. House of Representatives seats are up for election today. In the Senate 34 are up for election today.<\/p>\n I love this week’s cover.<\/p>\n Please vote for Hillary.<\/p>\n Revealed: Donald Trump’s greatest investment:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The story goes, country radio host Bobby Bones filed a trademark for the slogan before Trump’s team could earlier this year.\u00a0He told Trump he would transfer the rights for the donation and a face-to-face chat with the presidential hopeful.<\/p>\n Donald Trump paid $100,000 to buy the rights to his campaign slogan ‘Make America Great Again.<\/em>” The money was then donated to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.<\/p>\n The slogan also is not original. Guess who used it?<\/p>\n The full story is in the U.K. Daily Mail<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Why Amazon is a great investment. <\/strong>It aggressively cuts prices on everything it invents, especially the cloud where its AWS (Amazon Web services) is larger (I believe) than all its competitors combined. And, of course, the Kindle, which our family loves.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The family all have Amazon Prime and, like everyone else who has Prime, buy too much stuff we don’t need:<\/p>\n How to infect your computer with ransomware. \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Easy. Open this attachment:<\/p>\n These types of emails come daily. You can tell they’re suspicious: They’re from someone I don’t know. The attachment is a zip file. \u00a0And there are typos.<\/p>\n In short, it smells. Delete emails like this instantly, if not sooner.<\/p>\n DSL is awful. Exede is better. <\/strong><\/span>This is the speed of my DSL line in Columbia County, about 127 miles north of NYC.<\/p>\n This is Kent’s speed in rural Maine. He uses Exede satellite and pays $80 a month. He says the service is much much better than Hughes Satellite, the competitor.<\/p>\n Seth Meyers at the 2011 White House Correspondents dinner Country scenes yesterday.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Nice to look at something the politicians can’t mess up.\u00a0<\/strong>Columbia County, New York State.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Favorite recent (non-political) cartoons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n![\"spy5days\"](\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/SPY5Days.jpg\")
